Keep Driving

things are so much clearer

with the road beneath my tires

driving in the dark

wipers swishing and keeping time

tick

tock

I want more than anything to...

just

keep

going

then I remember... all the things

that keep me here

and I wonder, can I leave it all?

I might.. might be able to

what is there here?

grasping hands always wanting

something

moving mouths demanding

everything

it's why things are so much clearer

with the road beneath my tires.
